Okay, I patched using only the patches listed below. These are actually
applied against 2.6.2-rc2, since I don't have 2.6.2-rc1 on hand at the
moment, and your patches still apply cleanly.
acpi=off
- RX - Pushed about a gig, averaging 8.2MB/sec. Appeared to work ok.
- TX - Once I hit 642MB transfered (avg 8.9MB/sec), the system locked up
hard.
SMP off, acpi on
- TX - Hard lock at 307MB.
SMP off, acpi off
- TX - Hard lock at 345MB.
I'll try to investigate further tomorrow. I have to go out of town
starting Thursday, and was hoping to have everything working by then.
Unfortunately, I have other problems to deal with as well (ati-drivers,
slmodem, etc).
Thanks
